Flex Power System

Can you imagine opportunity
and fast charging without watering?Now you can with the new FLEX
and FLEXPAK batteries from Hawker.Hawker is excited to
officially introduce our latest edition to the battery and charger solution
product lines- FLEX batteries and FLEX/FLEXPLUS chargers.

FLEX batteries are Thin Plate Pure Lead batteries which are suitable
for a variety of applications and essentially maintenance free. They’re valve
regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries which never require watering.FLEX batteries offer outstanding flexibility and ease of use. These
batteries give you the power of productivity and will revolutionize the way
you work.

Employing TPPL technology, these
batteries have a thin plate pure lead design which allows more plates in the
same space, resulting in more surface area and higher energy density. The pure
lead designed grids and chemistry of the battery have lower resistance, thus
accepts a high rate of charge.Due to the very low
internal resistance, FLEX batteries can be opportunity or fast charged without
generating a lot of heat.FLEX batteries will complement the
existing FLEXPAK batteries which have been available for some time.

FLEX and/or FLEXPAK batteries are excellent partial
state of charge batteries and thrive in applications where frequent recharging
is available.Operations currently opportunity and/or fast
charging flooded batteries are a great place to target.They can
be used in Class I, II and III trucks which include counterbalanced, narrow
aisle fork trucks, and pallet jacks.FLEX batteries are available in 2v cells up
to 750AH and voltages up to 48v.

All FLEX bloc batteries come standard with an LVA (low voltage alarm),
while all 2v cell batteries also have the BBWC.Since these
batteries are not prone to sulphation like flooded batteries, they can be
stored for long periods of time without a refresh charge.FLEX
batteries do not require a daily complete charge. They only require one full
charge and a two hour equalization per week.

In
addition to the new FLEX batteries, Hawker also introduces a new charger line
for the TPPL products – FLEX and FLEXPLUS chargers.When sized
appropriately, FLEX chargers can charge up to 25% on 2v cells and 70% on bloc
batteries. FLEXPLUS chargers can charge up to 40% on 2v cells and 70% on bloc
batteries.
